Travis and his sister Corey can't resist a good trick, in this "fine, scary tale for a campfire" (New York Times Book Review). So when they learn that their grandmother's sleepy Vermont inn has a history of ghost sightings, they decide to do a little "haunting" of their own. Scaring the guests proves to be great fun, and before long, the inn fills up with tourists and ghost hunters eager for a glimpse of the supernatural. But Travis and Corey eventually find out that they aren't the only ghosts at Fox Hill Inn; their thoughtless games have awakened something that should have stayed asleep—something dangerous. The winner of both the Edgar Award and the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction, Mary Downing Hahn is renowned for her spine-tingling ghost stories for readers 9 to 12, as well as her historical tales featuring young people of various eras.
